As soon as these words were spoken, many people's eyes fell on Su Lijin, either implicitly or directly.
The relationship between the Queen and the Crown Prince is self-evident.
Many people are looking forward to what comments the Queen will have.
Xiao Zhaolin was naturally no exception. He stood under the platform and looked at Su Lijin with a little expectation.
The latter sneered and said, "I think it's vulgar and not as interesting as watching a sword dance."
After hearing Su Lijin's words, Xiao Zhaolin frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and at the same time he felt something was wrong in his heart.
"Forget it, the virtuous prince is also tired, sit down and rest."
Xiao Shengxing chuckled, but after a moment he returned to his serious expression. However, he was in a good mood and quickly resolved the situation for Xiao Zhaolin.
The banquet continued, and after all this, new programs were arranged.
Harmony returned to the banquet.
Su Lijin was watching the singing and dancing dancers, but out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of Xiao Zhaolin sitting below.
Xiao Zhaolin had obviously been paying attention to her. When he saw Su Lijin looking at him, he immediately raised his hand under the table, made a gesture, and looked outside the hall again.
Because he moved quickly and was hiding underneath, it was obvious that he only wanted Su Lijin to see it.
Su Lijin understood that he wanted her to go outside the palace with him.
Why?
She coldly withdrew her gaze, as if she hadn't seen it, and continued to focus on the show.
Seeing Su Lijin withdraw her gaze, Xiao Zhaolin couldn't help but feel annoyed.
He had to find out what was going on with Su Lijin tonight no matter what.
They waited until the end of the banquet, when Xiao Shengxing was hurriedly called away and the ministers also said goodbye and left with a glance.
Su Lijin slowly stood up and walked out alone on purpose.
When they were near the Imperial Garden, Su Lijin felt someone grabbing her wrist. She shook it off with force and turned around to see Xiao Zhaolin.
"Li Jin, what's wrong with you? You've been acting weird since I came back this time. I..."
Xiao Zhaolin was still pretending to express his deep affection, but unfortunately, Su Lijin in this life had already recognized Xiao Zhaolin's true face.
"Your Highness, do you think this is a place to talk?"
As she spoke, she looked around deliberately, as if she had thought of something. She leaned slightly closer and whispered in his ear, "Come to my bedroom later. I'll wait for you."
After Su Lijin finished speaking, she left without looking back.
Xiao Zhaolin looked at her back. Even though he had no patience left, he could only endure it silently for the sake of his own plans.
The sky gradually darkened.
In the courtyard of Kunning Palace, Su Lijin was sitting at the table, carefully peeling grapes.
Under the moonlight, the beauty in the quiet courtyard is stunningly beautiful, with no one around her, as if she is waiting for her destined person to meet her.
Xiao Zhaolin walked up to Su Lijin, approached her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Li Jin, what happened to you today? Is someone bullying you or spying on you?"
Before Su Lijin could speak, Xiao Zhaolin couldn't wait to ask.
Su Lijin suddenly stood up, then looked at the man behind her with red eyes.
"Your Highness, I have been waiting for you so hard. You don't know that the emperor has been paying attention to me all this time. I didn't want to talk to you much before because I was afraid of attracting attention." After Su Lijin finished speaking, she couldn't help but choked up.
It's like this now, no man can easily refuse.
After hearing this, Xiao Zhaolin breathed a sigh of relief. It made sense. But where could this woman transform herself into in a few days? He was overthinking it.
He pursed his lips and sighed, then asked, "Did you understand what I meant at the banquet?"
"Of course I understand your Highness's intentions. But when the Emperor asked me about this, if I had agreed with him even a little bit, wouldn't that have made him even more suspicious of our relationship?"
As she spoke, Su Lijin took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears, which did not exist at all.
"Your Highness's poems are so good, how could I think they are vulgar? I really have my own difficulties!" She lowered her head and explained with a look of grievance on her face.
After hearing Su Lijin's words, Xiao Zhaolin's expression improved a little.
Just when he was about to reach out and embrace the woman in front of him.
The eunuch's voice suddenly rang out outside Kunning Palace.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Xiao Zhaolin paused as he raised his hand, a look of panic appearing on his face.
"It's over, the emperor is coming! You, you hide quickly!"
Su Lijin's face changed drastically. She looked around the yard and finally fixed her gaze on the well.
"Here, you can hide in here."
Xiao Zhaolin glanced at the well in front of him, nodded slightly, then leaned over and jumped in.
There was water below, and he could only use his inner strength to support the wall of the well to prevent himself from falling.
As soon as Xiao Zhaolin jumped down, Xiao Shengxing came.
"What is your sister busy with?"
A magnetic voice came from behind her. Su Lijin pursed her lips, turned around, smiled and said calmly.
"Your Majesty, I thought the night view was beautiful tonight, so I stayed outside to admire it for a long time."
Xiao Shengxing nodded thoughtfully, "That's right. I'll accompany you tonight. Also, I'm here mainly to tell Jin'er that I've already started a new investigation into the corruption you mentioned."
Su Lijin was delighted in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She pulled Xiao Shengxing and sat on a chair in the yard.
"Your Majesty, these grapes are very sweet. Please try them."
She fed the grapes she peeled herself into Xiao Shengxing's mouth.
Su Lijin's hands moved very slowly, as if she was deliberately delaying time.
